CAPRI HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business and Basis of Presentation

The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on December 13, 2002 as Michael Kors Holdings Limited and changed its name toCapri Holdings Limited (“Capri,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) on December 31, 2018. The Company is a holding company that owns brandsthat are leading designers, marketers, distributors and retailers of branded women’s and men’s accessories, apparel and footwear bearing the Versace, Jimmy Chooand Michael Kors tradenames and related trademarks and logos. The Company’s business consists of four reportable segments: Michael Kors (“MK”) Retail, MKWholesale, MK Licensing and Jimmy Choo. See Note 18 for additional information.

On November 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Jimmy Choo Group Limited (“Jimmy Choo”) for a total transaction value of $1.447billion . As a result, the Company has consolidated Jimmy Choo into its operations beginning on November 1, 2017, as a separate reporting segment. On December31, 2018, the Company acquired all outstanding equity interests of Gianni Versace S.r.l. (“Versace”). See Note 4 and Note 20 for additional information.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions havebeen eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements as of December 29, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended December 29,2018 and December 30, 2017 are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared inaccordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, whichare, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim consolidated financial statements should be readin conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2018 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissionon May 30, 2018, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of resultsto be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to the 52-week or 53-week period, ending on that day. The results for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , are based on 13-weekand 39-week periods, respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions arecompleted. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, salesreturns, sales discounts and doubtful accounts, estimates related to the Company’s customer loyalty program for Michael Kors, estimates of gift card breakage,estimates of inventory recovery, the valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of deferred taxes and the valuation of and the estimated useful lives used foramortization and depreciation of intangible assets and property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Seasonality

The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company’s MK Retail segment generally experiences greater salesduring its third fiscal quarter as a result of holiday season sales. The MK Wholesale segment generally experiences the lowest sales in its first fiscal quarter. TheJimmy Choo segment generally experiences greater sales during its first and third fiscal quarters, primarily driven by the product launch calendar and holidayseason sales. In the aggregate, the Company’s first fiscal quarter typically experiences less sales volume relative to the other three quarters and its third fiscalquarter generally has higher sales volume relative to the other three quarters.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. The Company,in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employsthese forward currency contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated ashedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidatedbalance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.

In connection with the September 24, 2018 definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Versace, the Company entered into forwardforeign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion ) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange riskthrough the expected closing date of the acquisition, which were settled on December 21, 2018. Likewise, in connection with the July 25, 2017 cash offer toacquire Jimmy Choo, the Company entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contract with a notional amount of £1.115 billion (approximately $1.469billion ) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the expected closing date of the acquisition, which was settled on October 30, 2017. Thesederivative contracts were not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value are recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’sconsolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify cash flows from derivative instruments in thesame category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Accordingly, during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , theCompany classified $77.4 million of realized losses and $4.7 million of realized gains, respectively, relating to these derivative instruments within cash flows frominvesting activities.

The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedgedocumentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the riskbeing hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensiveincome (loss) until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, thegains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses regression analysis toassess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the changein the related hedged item. If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. Forthose contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase ofinventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.

The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigatecounterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain otherfinancial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months . Theperiod of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in theexchange rates between our U.S. Dollars and these foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, as defined below, and has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on net investment hedged is reported within foreigncurrency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense in the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive income. Upondiscontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the hedged net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated.

Net Income per Share

The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstandingduring the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutiveinstruments, including restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”), were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securitiesare included in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are included indiluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under thetreasury stock method.

The components of the calculation of basic net income per ordinary share and diluted net income per ordinary share are as follows (in millions, except shareand per share data):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Hedge Accounting

On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The new standard is intended to improve and simplify rules relating to hedge accounting, including the elimination of periodic hedge ineffectiveness, recognitionand presentation of components excluded from hedge effectiveness assessment, the ability to elect to perform subsequent effectiveness assessments qualitatively,and other provisions designed to provide more transparency around the economics of a company’s hedging strategy. ASU 2017-12 is effective for the Company inFiscal 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, which resulted in a net increase toopening retained earnings of less than $0.1 million as of April 1, 2018, due to the elimination of ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges in effect as of the date ofadoption. The Company has applied the spot method of designating its net investment hedges, which were executed during the nine months ended December 29,2018 .

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ,” which provides new guidance for revenuesrecognized from contracts with customers, requiring that revenue is recognized at an amount the Company is entitled to upon transferring control of goods orservices to customers, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. In July 2015, ASU 2015-14, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic606): Deferral of the Effective Date, ” deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, to interim reporting periods within the annual reporting periodbeginning after December 15, 2017, or the first quarter of the Company’s Fiscal 2019. This standard may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented,or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption (“modified retrospective method”).

The FASB issued several additional ASUs to provide implementation guidance on ASU 2014-09, including ASU 2016-20, “ Technical Corrections andImprovements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” in December 2016; ASU 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ” in May 2016; ASU 2016-10, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): IdentifyingPerformance Obligations and Licensing ” in April 2016; and ASU 2016-08, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus AgentConsiderations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ” in March 2016. The Company considered this guidance in evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09(collectively, “ASC 606”).

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method and recognized the $6.7 million (net of a tax of $1.7 million )cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The below table details the components of the cumulative adjustmentrecorded on April 1, 2018 (in millions):

(1) Includes a $3.5 million adjustment related to product licensing revenue, which was previously recorded on a one-month lag and $0.3 million of

guaranteed advertising minimums recognized by product licensees on a straight-line basis over the contract year.(2) Relates to recognition of breakage revenue associated with gift card liabilities not subject to escheatment.(3) Relates to income tax effect of the above adjustments.

In addition, while the Company has previously recorded the right of return asset and liability on a gross basis, in connection with its adoption of ASC 606, ithas reclassified the return liability of $16.2 million from receivables, net to accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets as ofDecember 29, 2018 . Otherwise, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for thethree and nine months ended December 29, 2018 , or any individual line items therein.

See Note 3 for additional disclosures related to the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy.

Share-Based Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “ Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting ”, which simplifiesmodification accounting for entities that change the terms or conditions of share-based awards. ASU 2017-09 was adopted during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019,as required, on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company willapply ASU 2017-09 to any future changes to the terms and conditions of its share-based compensation awards.

Income Taxes

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ”, which requiresrecognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16in the beginning of Fiscal 2019, as required, using the modified retrospective method. On April 1, 2018, the Company recorded the $4.9 million cumulative effectof adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and, other than the recent pronouncements discussed below, have concluded that there are no newpronouncements that may have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.

Lease Accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842), ” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-to-use asset on thebalance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective beginning with the Company’s Fiscal 2020, with early adoption permitted.The Company plans to apply the package of three practical expedients, allowing it to carry forward its previous lease classification and embedded lease evaluationsand not to reassess initial direct costs as of the date of adoption, as well as the practical expedient allowing it to combine lease and non-lease components. TheCompany also plans on adopting the practical expedient from ASU 2018-11, “ Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, ” allowing it to recognize acumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods . TheCompany's existing lease obligations, which relate to stores, corporate locations, warehouses, and equipment, will be subject to the new standard and will result inrecording a lease liability and right-to-use asset for operating leases on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, adoption of this standard isexpected to significantly increase the Company's total assets and total liabilities.

The FASB has issued several additional ASUs to provide implementation guidance relating to ASU 2016-02, including ASU 2018-01, “ Land EasementPractical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 ” in January 2018, ASU 2018-10, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ” and ASU 2018-11, “ Leases(Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, ” both issued in July 2018, and ASU 2018-20, “ Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors ” issued inDecember 2018. The Company will consider this guidance in evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.

Intangibles

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “ Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting forImplementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, ” which reduces the complexity for the accounting for costs ofimplementing a cloud computing service arrangement. The standard aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs of hosting arrangements,regardless of whether or not the contract conveys a license to the hosted software. ASU 2018-15 is effective beginning with the Company’s Fiscal 2021, with earlyadoption permitted, and can either be presented prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on itsconsolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and paymentterms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of thepromised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to inexchange for goods or services.

11

Page 12: UNITED STATESd18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001530721/54671f75-91... · 2019. 2. 7. · united states securities and exchange commission washington, d.c. 20549 form 10-q ý quarterly

The Company sells its products through three primary channels of distribution: retail, wholesale and licensing. Within the retail and wholesale channels,substantially all of the Company’s revenues consist of sales of products that represent a single performance obligation, where control transfers at a point in time tothe customer. For licensing arrangements, royalty and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on access provided to Michael Kors and Jimmy Chootrademarks.

The Company has chosen to apply the practical expedient allowing it not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remainingperformance obligations that have an expected duration of 12 months or less.

Retail

Michael Kors generates sales through four primary retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores, outlet stores and e-commerce. Michael Korssells its own products and licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to the end consumer throughout the Americas (U.S., Canada and LatinAmerica, excluding Brazil), Europe and certain parts of Asia. Jimmy Choo generates sales through directly operated stores and e-commerce throughout theAmericas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and certain parts of Asia. In addition to these retail formats, the Company operates concessions in a selectnumber of department stores.

Retail revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at Company owned stores, including concessions. For e-commerce transactions, control is transferred when products are delivered to the customer, net of estimated returns. To arrive at net sales for retail, gross sales arereduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns.

Sales taxes collected from retail customers are presented on a net basis and, as such, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs that are billedto customers are included in net sales, with the related costs recorded in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs that are not billed to customers areaccounted for as fulfillment costs.

Gift Cards. The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed for merchandise, resulting in a contract liability recorded upon issuance. Revenue isrecognized when the gift card is redeemed or upon “breakage” for the estimated portion of gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed. “Breakage” revenue iscalculated under the proportional redemption methodology, which considers the historical patterns of redemption in jurisdictions where the Company is notrequired to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards as unclaimed property. The Company anticipates that substantially all of its outstanding gift cards will beredeemed within the next 12 months. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage,” was $11.8 million as of December 29, 2018 , and isincluded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Loyalty Program . The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors customers to earn points on qualifying purchases towardmonetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion ofthe initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. Theseamounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” of $7.5 million as ofDecember 29, 2018 is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and within accrued expenses andother current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be recognized within the next 12 months.

Wholesale

Michael Kors products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia.Jimmy Choo luxury products are sold throughout North America, EMEA, and certain parts of Asia. The Company also has arrangements where Michael Kors andJimmy Choo products are sold to our geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA and Asia, as well as in Brazil. Products sold through the wholesale channelinclude accessories (which include handbags and small leather goods such as wallets), footwear and women’s and men’s apparel.

Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of theunderlying product is transferred to the Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for wholesale, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimatedfuture returns, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates aredeveloped based on the most likely amount using historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and market conditions, and are reviewed by management ona quarterly basis. Unfulfilled, noncancelable purchase orders for products from wholesale customers (including the Company’s geographic licensees) are expectedto be fulfilled within the next 12 months.

Licensing

The Company provides its third-party licensees with the right to access its Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo trademarks under product and geographiclicensing arrangements. Under product licensing arrangements, the Company allows third parties to manufacture and sell luxury goods, including watches andjewelry, fragrances, sunglasses and eyewear, using the Company’s trademarks. Under geographic licensing arrangements, third party licensees receive the right todistribute and sell products bearing the Company's trademarks in retail and/or wholesale channels within certain geographical areas, including Brazil, the MiddleEast, Eastern Europe, South Africa, certain parts of Asia and Australia.

The Company recognizes royalty revenue and advertising contributions based on the percentage of sales made by the licensees. Advertising contributionsare received to support the Company’s branded advertising and marketing campaigns and are viewed as part of a single performance obligation with the right toaccess the Company’s trademarks. Royalty revenue generated from licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, may be subject to contractual minimumlevels, as defined in the contract. Such minimums are generally fixed annually, based on the previous year’s sales. Licensing revenue is based on reported currentperiod sales of licensed products at rates that are specified in the license agreements for contracts that are expected to exceed the related guaranteed minimums. Ifthe Company expects the minimum guaranteed amounts to exceed amounts calculated based on actual sales, the guaranteed minimums are recognized ratably overthe contractual year to which they relate. As of December 29, 2018 , guaranteed minimum royalty amounts due from licensees relate to contractual periods that donot exceed 12 months.

Sales Returns

For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company recognizes revenue for the consideration to which it expects to be entitled and a refund liability forthe amount it expects to refund to its customers within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The refund liability is determined based on the most likelyamount and is based on management’s review of historical and current customer returns for its retail and wholesale customers, estimated future returns, adjustedfor non-resalable products. The Company also considers its product strategies, as well as the financial condition of its customers, store closings by wholesalecustomers, changes in the retail environment and other macroeconomic factors. The Company recognizes an asset with a corresponding adjustment to cost of salesfor the right to recover the products from its retail and wholesale customers, net of any costs to resell. The refund liability recorded as of December 29, 2018 was$42.1 million and the related asset for the right to recover returned product as of December 29, 2018 was $11.5 million .

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract liabilities, which are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets, primarilyconsist of gift card liabilities, loyalty program liabilities and advanced payments from product licensees. Total contract liabilities were $25.1 million and $23.3million as of December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018 , respectively. Contract liabilities decreased $4.6 million as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 on April 1,2018 , due to recognition of gift card breakage revenue (see Note 2 ). For three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 , the Company recognized $2.3 millionand $13.6 million , respectively, in revenue which related to contract liabilities that existed at March 31, 2018 . There were no contract assets recorded as ofDecember 29, 2018 and April 1, 2018 .

There were no changes in historical variable consideration estimates that were materially different from actual results.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determinedwith certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will have a material adverse effecton its cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

Please refer to the Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments disclosure within the Liquidity section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 for a detailed disclosure of other commitments and contractual obligations as of March 31, 2018 .

12. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. Thedetermination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date,notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participantswould use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on acompany’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is brokendown into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurementdate.

Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly orindirectly through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

At December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018 , the fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges weredetermined using broker quotations, which were calculations derived from observable market information: the applicable currency rates at the balance sheet dateand those forward rates particular to the contract at inception. The Company makes no adjustments to these broker obtained quotes or prices, but assesses the creditrisk of the counterparty and would adjust the provided valuations for counterparty credit risk when appropriate. The fair values of the forward contracts areincluded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending onwhether they represent assets or liabilities to the Company. The fair values of net investment hedges are included in other assets, as detailed in Note 13 .

The Company’s long-term debt obligations are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values.The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and based on other debtinstruments with similar characteristics. Borrowings under revolving credit agreements, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fairvalue due to the short-term nature of such borrowings. See Note 10 for detailed information relating to carrying values of the Company’s outstanding debt. Thefollowing table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt, based on Level 2 measurements (inmillions):

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s non-financial assets include goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment. Such assets are reported at their carrying values andare not subject to recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible asset (Jimmy Choo brand) are assessed forimpairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, while its other long-lived assets, including fixed assets and definite-lived intangibleassets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. Thefair values of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements using the Company’s best estimates of the amount and timing of future discounted cashflows, based on historical experience, market conditions, current trends and performance expectations.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company early-adopted the new hedge accounting guidance prescribed by ASU 2017-12. The cumulative impactof adoption, which related to elimination of ineffectiveness for the Company’s designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts, was recorded withinretained earnings as of the beginning of Fiscal 2019. See Note 2 for additional information.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of its transactions.The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to certain forecasted inventorypurchases by using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company only enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-rated counterparties. TheCompany does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

On September 24, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Versace, the Company entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a totalnotional amount of €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion ) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the expected closing date of theacquisition. These derivative contracts were not designated as accounting hedges and were settled on December 21, 2018 as a result of the debt issued inconnection with the acquisition of Versace (see Note 10 for further information). Changes in fair value were recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in theCompany’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 .

On July 25, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Jimmy Choo, which closed on November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a forward foreigncurrency exchange contract with a notional amount of £1.115 billion (approximately $1.469 billion ) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the dateof the acquisition. This derivative contract was not designated as an accounting hedge and was settled on October 30, 2017. Changes in fair value were recorded toforeign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 30,2017 .

Net Investment Hedges

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notionalamounts of $390.0 million to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and $44.0 million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the terms of these contracts, which maturein November 2024, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments made under its Senior Notes for fixed rate payments of 1.472% to 1.585% inEuros and 0.89% in Japanese Yen. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.

When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread isexcluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operationsand comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reduction in interest expense of $2.8 million and $6.7 million , respectively, during the threeand nine months ended December 29, 2018 .

17. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 are 17.3% and 12.7% , respectively. Such rates differ from theUnited Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable effects of global financing arrangements, partially offset by earningsgenerated in higher tax jurisdictions and the impact of uncertain tax positions. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 29, 2018was also due to excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation awards. The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of itsprincipal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded itsinternational growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December2015. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized a lower effective tax rate. The Company’s effectivetax rates for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 were 21.2% and 18.0% , respectively.

As of December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company has liabilities related to its uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of approximately$126.6 million and $107.4 million , respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The total amountof unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements ofongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company anticipates that the balance of gross unrecognized taxbenefits, excluding interest and penalties, will be reduced by approximately $37.8 million during the next 12 months, primarily due to an anticipated tax rulingregarding the deductibility of certain capital losses and anticipated audit closures. The outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain and changes in theoccurrence, expected outcomes and timing of such events could cause the Company’s current estimate to change materially in the future.

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TaxAct”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including, among other things, lowering U.S. statutory federal tax rateand implementing a territorial tax system. The U.S. statutory federal tax rate has been decreased to 21% for Fiscal 2019 and thereafter. The Tax Act also addedmany new provisions, including changes to bonus depreciation, limits on the deductions for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on globalintangible low-taxed income, the base erosion anti-abuse tax and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income.

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 to provide guidance for companies that would allow fora measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Subsequently, as a result offinalizing its full Fiscal 2018 operating results, the issuance of new interpretive guidance, and other analyses performed, the Company finalized its accountingrelated to the impacts of the Tax Act and recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments in the period ending December 29, 2018 .

On December 31, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Versace for an aggregate purchase price based on an enterprise value of approximately €1.753billion (or approximately $2.005 billion ), giving effect to an equity investment made by the Versace family at acquisition. The acquisition was funded through acombination of debt and cash on hand. We believe that this acquisition further expanded our global luxury group to include three iconic founder-led brands definedby luxury products with a reputation for world-class design and innovation.

As of December 29, 2018, we operated in four reportable segments, which are as follows:

• MK Retail — includes sales of Michael Kors products from 401 retail stores in the Americas (including concessions) and 469 international retail stores(including concessions) throughout Europe and certain parts of Asia as of December 29, 2018 , as well as from Michael Kors e-commerce sites.

• MK Wholesale — includes wholesale sales of Michael Kors products through 1,276 department store doors and 840 specialty store doors in the Americasand through 1,086 specialty store doors and 212 department store doors internationally as of December 29, 2018 . MK Wholesale also includes revenuesfrom sales of Michael Kors products to geographic licensees.

• MK Licensing — includes royalties and other contributions earned on licensed products and use of the Michael Kors trademarks and rights granted tothird parties for the right to operate retail stores and/or sell the Company’s products in certain geographic regions.

• Jimmy Choo — includes worldwide sales of Jimmy Choo products from 206 retail stores (including concessions) and Jimmy Choo e-commerce sites,through 592 wholesale doors, as well as through product and geographic licensing arrangements, as of December 29, 2018 .

Seasonality

We experience certain effects of seasonality with respect to our business. Our MK Retail segment generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscalquarter as a result of holiday season sales. Our MK Wholesale segment generally experiences the lowest sales in its first fiscal quarter. Our Jimmy Choo segmentgenerally experiences greater sales during its first and third fiscal quarters, primarily driven by the product launch calendar and holiday season sales. In theaggregate, our first fiscal quarter typically experiences less sales volume relative to the other three quarters and our third fiscal quarter generally has higher salesvolume relative to the other three quarters.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Establishing brand identity and enhancing global presence. We intend to grow our international presence through our global fashion luxury group, bringingtogether industry-leading fashion luxury brands.

As mentioned above, on November 1, 2017, we acquired Jimmy Choo for a total transaction value of $1.447 billion . Jimmy Choo has a rich history as aleading global luxury house, renowned for its glamorous and fashion-forward footwear, and is an excellent complement to the Michael Kors brand. Additionally,on December 31, 2018 we completed the acquisition of Versace who is one of the leading international fashion design houses and a symbol of Italian luxuryworldwide. Versace designs, manufactures, distributes and retails fashion and lifestyle products including haute couture, apparel, accessories, jewelry, watches,eyewear, fragrances, and home furnishings. We believe that these combinations significantly strengthen our future growth opportunities, while also increasing bothproduct and geographic diversification. However, there are risks associated with new acquisitions and the anticipated benefits of acquisitions on our financialresults may not be in line with our expectations.

We also intend to continue to increase our international presence and global brand recognition by growing our existing international operations, throughacquisitions, the formation of various joint ventures with international partners and continuing with our international licensing arrangements. We feel this is anefficient method for continued penetration into the global luxury goods market, especially for markets where we have yet to establish a substantial presence. Inaddition, our growth strategy includes assuming direct control of certain licensed international operations to better manage our growth opportunities in the relatedregions.

See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our recent acquisitions.

Channel Shift and Demand for Our Accessories and Related Merchandise . Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, as well asshifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. Although the overall consumer spending for personal luxury products has recently increased, consumershopping preferences have continued to shift from physical stores to on-line shopping. We currently expect that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future.We continue to adjust our operating strategy to the changing business environment. We are continuing to make progress toward our previously announced plan toclose between 100 and 125 of our Michael Kors retail stores in order to improve the profitability of our Michael Kors retail store fleet (“Retail Fleet OptimizationPlan”), with 71 stores closed since the plan's inception. We continue to expect to incur a total of approximately $100 - $125 million of one-time costs associatedwith these store closures. During the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , we closed 24 of our Michael Kors retail stores under the Retail Fleet OptimizationPlan and recorded related restructuring charges of $9.5 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 . We currently anticipate finalizing the remainderof the planned store closures under the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan by the end of Fiscal 2020. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing annual savings ofapproximately $60 million as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation and amortization associated with the impairment charges recorded once theseinitiatives are completed.

Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, and those ofour non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the U.S. dollar. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchangerates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in the future, when translated to U.S. Dollars.

Disruptions in shipping and distribution . Our operations are subject to the impact of shipping disruptions as a result of changes or damage to ourdistribution infrastructure, as well as due to external factors. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network could have a negative impact on ourresults of operations.

Costs of Manufacturing . Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. Thisvolatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time. In addition, our costs maybe impacted by tariffs imposed on our products and increased duties due to changes in trade terms. These factors may have a material impact on our revenues,results of operations and cash flows to the extent they occur. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products asefficiently as possible. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We usecommercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.

U.S. Tax Reform. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act(the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including, among other things, lowering U.S. statutory federaltax rate and implementing a territorial tax system. The U.S. statutory federal tax rate has been decreased to 21% for Fiscal 2019 and thereafter. The Tax Act alsoadded many new provisions, including changes to bonus depreciation, limits on the deductions for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on globalintangible low-taxed income, the base erosion anti-abuse tax and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income.

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 to provide guidance for companies that would allow fora measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Subsequently, as a result offinalizing its full Fiscal 2018 operating results, the issuance of new interpretive guidance, and other analyses performed, the Company finalized its accountingrelated to the impacts of the Tax Act and recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments in the six-month period ending December 29, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management tomake estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of thefinancial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the mostimportant to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to makeestimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informedjudgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, includingcurrent and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. During the firstquarter of Fiscal 2019, we adopted the new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, as described in Note 2 and Note 3 to the accompanyingconsolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, the timing of revenue recognition for royalty and advertising revenue under certain of our licensingagreements may shift among fiscal quarters. In addition, we eliminated a one-month reporting lag for one of our licensees, and began to recognize revenue for theunredeemed portion of our gift cards that are not required to be remitted as unclaimed property proportionally over the estimated customer redemption period. Ourcritical accounting policies are disclosed in full in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. There havebeen no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since March 31, 2018, other than described above.

Comparable store sales include sales from a retail store or an e-commerce site that has been operating for one full year after the end of the first month of itsoperation under our ownership. For stores that are closed, sales that were made in the final month of their operations (assuming closure prior to the fiscal month’send), are excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales. Additionally, sales for stores that are either relocated, or expanded by a square footage of 25% orgreater, in any given fiscal year, are also excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales at the time of their move or interruption, until such stores havebeen in their new location, or are operating under their new size/capacity, for at least one full year after the end of the first month of their relocation or expansion.All comparable store sales are presented on a 52-week basis.

Constant currency effects are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitatecomparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global company,foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currencyimpacts by translating the current-year’s reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year’s foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constantcurrency performance measures discussed below should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated inaccordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory sold, freight-in on merchandise and foreign currency exchange gains/losses related to designated forwardcontracts for purchase commitments. All retail operating and occupancy costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (see below) and, as aresult, our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to that of other entities that have chosen to include some or all of those expenses as a component of their costof goods sold.

Income from operations as a percentage of Jimmy Choo revenue decreasedfrom 5.0% for the period from the date of acquisition through December 30, 2017 to 3.4% during the three months ended December 29, 2018 , primarily due to anoperating loss for the incremental period in Fiscal 2019 of $3.7 million, reflecting our investments in the Jimmy Choo business and transition and integration costs,which negatively impacted income from operations as a percentage of Jimmy Choo revenue by 410 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by an increasein gross profit margin of approximately 220 basis points, reflecting lower cost of goods and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments, as well as loweroperating expenses of approximately 30 basis points.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased $0.6 million to $7.7 million during the three months ended December 29, 2018 , compared to $8.3 million for the threemonths ended December 30, 2017 , as the $2.8 million reduction to interest expense related to the cross-currency swap used in the net investment hedge during thethree months ended December 29, 2018 (see Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information) more than offset theincreased interest expense attributable to higher borrowings than in prior year (see Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additionalinformation).

Foreign Currency Loss

During the three months ended December 29, 2018 , we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $42.6 million , primarily attributable to a $47.0 million lossrelated to forward foreign currency exchange derivative contracts to hedge the transaction price of the Versace acquisition (see Note 13 and Note 20 to theaccompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2018 , was 17.3% , compared to 21.2% for the three months endedDecember 30, 2017 . The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the favorable impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, certain income tax creditsclaimed in the current year, as well as an increase in the proportion of earnings generated in lower tax jurisdictions during the three months ended December 29,2018 . These decreases were partially offset by a lower favorable effect of our global financing activities during the three months ended December 29, 2018 ,compared to three months ended December 30, 2017 . The global financing activities are related to our previously disclosed 2014 move of our principal executiveoffice from Hong Kong to the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, we funded our internationalgrowth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015.Accordingly, due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, we realized a lower effective tax rate.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. Inaddition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective taxrate in future periods.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Depreciation and amortization decreased to 4.1% as a percentageof total revenue during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , compared to 4.2% for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 .

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $17.2 million , which were primarily comprisedof $15.4 million of impairment charges related to underperforming Michael Kors retail store locations, some of which will be closed as part of our previouslyannounced Retail Fleet Optimization Plan (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During thenine months ended December 30, 2017 , we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $18.9 million , which were related tounderperforming Michael Kors retail store locations, some of which related to closures as part of our Retail Fleet Optimization Plan.

MK Retail

Income from operations for our MK Retail segment decreased $31.3 million , or 9.2% , to $310.3 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 ,compared to $341.6 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 . Income from operations as a percentage of retail revenue decreased 160 basis pointsfrom 16.2% for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 to 14.6% during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 . The decrease in income from operationsas a percentage of retail revenue was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin of 120 basis points, as previously discussed, as well as an increase inoperating expenses of 40 basis points. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to increased retail store related and e-commerce costs, partially offset by lower marketing, distribution and depreciation expenses, as well as lower impairment charges.

MK Wholesale

Income from operations for our MK Wholesale segment increased $72.6 million , or 27.5% , to $336.2 million during the nine months ended December 29,2018 , compared to $263.6 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 . Income from operations as a percentage of wholesale revenue increasedapproximately 570 basis points from 22.0% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 to 27.7% during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , whichwas attributable to an increase in our wholesale gross profit margin of approximately 230 basis points, as previously discussed, as well as a 340 basis pointdecrease in operating expenses as a percentage of wholesale revenue. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was largely due todecreased selling costs, distribution costs, corporate allocated expenses and depreciation expenses.

MK Licensing

Income from operations for our MK Licensing segment decreased $6.2 million , or 12.1% , to $44.9 million during the nine months ended December 29,2018 , compared to $51.1 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 . Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue decreased from44.4% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 to 42.2% during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , primarily due to higher advertising costs asa percentage of licensing revenue, partially offset by lower corporate allocated expenses.

Jimmy Choo

Income from operations for our Jimmy Choo segment decreased $2.5 million to $3.2 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , compared to$5.7 million for the period from the date of acquisition through December 30, 2017 . Income from operations as a percentage of Jimmy Choo revenue decreasedfrom 5.0% for the period from the date of acquisition through December 30, 2017 to 0.7% during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , primarily due to anoperating loss of $6.0 million for the first ten months of Fiscal 2019, reflecting our investments in the Jimmy Choo business and transition and integration costs,which negatively impacted income from operations as a percentage of Jimmy Choo revenue by 680 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by an increasein gross profit margin of approximately 220 basis points, reflecting lower cost of goods and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments, as well as loweroperating expenses of approximately 30 basis points.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $10.9 million to $21.1 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , compared to $10.2 million for the ninemonths ended December 30, 2017 , primarily due to increased interest expense attributable to higher borrowings than in prior year (see Note 10 to theaccompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). This increase was partially offset by a $6.7 million reduction to interest expenserelated to the cross-currency swap used in the net investment hedge during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 (see Note 13 to the accompanyingconsolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $78.5 million , primarily attributable to a $77.4 millionrealized loss related to forward foreign currency exchange derivative contracts to hedge the transaction price of the Versace acquisition (see Note 13 and Note 20to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

During the nine months ended December 30, 2017 , we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $14.7 million , which included a $4.7 million realized gainrelated to a forward foreign currency exchange derivative contract to hedge the transaction price of the Jimmy Choo business, as well as net gains on therevaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable reporting units, as well as theremeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized $76.0 million of income tax expense during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , compared to $ 119.9 million for the nine monthsended December 30, 2017 . Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , was 12.7% , compared to 18.0% for the nine months endedDecember 30, 2017 . The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, the favorable impact of theTax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as an increase in the proportion of earnings generated in lower tax jurisdictions during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 .These decreases were partially offset by a lower favorable effect of our global financing activities during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , compared tonine months ended December 30, 2017 . The global financing activities are related to our previously disclosed 2014 move of our principal executive office fromHong Kong to the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, we funded our international growthstrategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Accordingly, due tothe difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, we realized a lower effective tax rate.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. Inaddition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective taxrate in future periods.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , we recorded net losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our jointventures of $0.9 million and $0.2 million , respectively. These losses represent the share of income that is not attributable to the Company.

Net Income Attributable to Capri

As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased $24.2 million , or 4.4% , to $523.6 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 ,compared to $547.8 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 .

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, along with borrowings available under our credit facilities (see belowdiscussion regarding “Revolving Credit Facilities”) and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund our ongoing cashrequirements, including working capital requirements, acquisitions, debt repayments, investment in information systems infrastructure, global retail storeconstruction, expansion and renovation, distribution and corporate facilities, construction and renovation of shop-in-shops, share repurchases and other corporateactivities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and available cash andcash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection withour store growth plans, shop-in-shop growth, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued systems development, e-commerce and marketinginitiatives. We spent $134.7 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , and expect to spend approximately $90.0 millionon capital expenditures during the remainder of Fiscal 2019 .

The following table sets forth key indicators of our liquidity and capital resources (in millions):

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $97.6 million to $775.7 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , as compared to $873.3million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 , which was primarily due to a decrease related to changes in our working capital, partially offset by anincrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments. The net decrease related to our working capital was primarily attributable to increased in-transit inventoryand inventory purchases, partially offset by the associated increase in accounts payable. In addition, the decrease related to prepaid expenses and other currentassets primarily attributable to the timing of receipts.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $1.281 billion to $215.6 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , as compared to $1.497billion during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 , which was primarily attributable to $1.415 billion of cash paid, net of cash acquired in connection withour acquisition of the Jimmy Choo business during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 . This decrease in cash used in investing activities was partiallyoffset by a $77.4 million realized loss related to an undesignated derivative contract during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , associated with theanticipated acquisition of Versace and higher capital expenditures of $50.9 million during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 compared to prior year,primarily attributable to the build-outs for new and renovated retail stores and expenditures related to corporate infrastructure.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $770.7 million to $1.472 billion during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 , from $701.0 millionduring the nine months ended December 30, 2017 . The increase in cash from financing activities was primarily due to increased debt borrowings of $814.2 million, net of debt repayments, primarily attributable to higher term loan borrowings to finance the acquisition of Versace, partially offset by a $46.2 million increase incash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, aswell as fluctuations in interest rates. In attempts to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations. We enter intoforeign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instrumentsprimarily helps to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our product costs. We do not use derivatives for trading orspeculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiaries’ local currency relative tothe currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency exchange contracts that generally mature in 12months or less and are consistent with the related purchase commitments, to manage our exposure to the changes in the value of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar.These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability, and are derivative contracts to hedge cash flow risks.Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, while certain of these contracts, are not designated as hedges for accountingpurposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the majority of these contracts at the balance sheet date are recorded in our equity as a component ofaccumulated other comprehensive income, and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of sales or operating expenses, in ourconsolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward currency exchange contracts wereestablished.

We perform a sensitivity analysis on our forward currency contracts, both designated and not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine theeffects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in U.S. Dollar against foreign exchangerates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of December 29, 2018 , a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared tothe level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 29, 2018 , would result in a net increase and decrease, respectively, ofapproximately $15.9 million in the fair value of these contracts.

Net Investment Hedges

We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to interest from our net investment hedges. The net investment hedges haveaggregate notional amounts of $390.0 million to hedge our net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries, and $44.0 million to hedge our net investments inJapanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the terms of thesecontracts, which mature in November 2024, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments made under our Senior Notes for fixed rate payments of 1.472% to 1.585% in Euros and 0.89% in Japanese Yen. Based on all net investment hedges outstanding as of December 29, 2018 , a 10% appreciation ordevaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 29, 2018 , would result in anet increase or decrease of approximately $45.3 million in the fair value of these contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility, our 2018 Credit Facility, our Hong Kong CreditFacility and our Japan Credit Facility. Our 2018 Term Loan Facility carries interest at a rate that is based on LIBOR. Our 2018 Credit Facility carries interest ratesthat are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, among other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular origination of borrowing), as further described inNote 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong InterbankOffered Rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Therefore, our statements of operations andcomprehensive income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At December 29, 2018 , we had $500.0 million in short-term borrowingsoutstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility and $1.588 billion , net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility. At March 31, 2018 , wehad term loans of $229.8 million and short-term borrowings of $200.0 million outstanding under our prior credit facility. These balances are not indicative offuture balances that may be outstanding under our revolving credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicableinterest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense relative to any outstanding balance at that date.

Credit Risk

We have outstanding $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due in 2024. The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.000%per year, payable semi-annually. Our Senior Notes interest rate payable may be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substituterating agency), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes.
